Cloud Computing and Technology Mobility

With today's economy, moving away from in house hosting of services can be a life saver. Hosted or "cloud based" services can be brought up quickly with very little overhead, some are even free!

Aside from Google Docs, which is becoming more and more popular there are many tools available in the "cloud" that can benefit law IT. My intention is to present and discuss hosted services for document collaboration, file storage, and distance education. Some of the hosted services that I intend to discuss specifically are Drop Box, Adobe Connect Pro, and Adobe Buzzwords. These services and others are helping to reduce our overhead and giving the people we serve a better IT experience.

Also, I will be discussing how these hosted services are not only easier in the short term but how they enable us to be more agile or "mobile" with our technology for the future.
